Last month's Kelso winner BEIDH TINE ANSEO was due to run over 2m4f here yesterday but this is his best trip and he can score again at the track if allowed to take his chance. Honourable Gent won on his chasing debut at Carlisle in May but was only fifth off this mark at Uttoxeter subsequently, though wasn't beaten far. Moonlight Maggie arrives off the back of a victory at Southwell but has yet to win anywhere else. Bunclody is another who was due to run here yesterday so Wot A Shot may be the pick of the remainder.
